So far, this is the last transcription of Henry James' classic novel "The Aspern Papers" (1888). The acting is quite good, Joely Richardson is obviously very good at hearing her mother Vanessa Redgrave, and she and Jonathan Rhys Meyers have already mastered such roles as Henry VIII and Catherine Parr. The sets are decent, the exteriors are beautiful, and the costumes are appropriate, but traditionally the make-up and hair designers fail to please contemporary audiences. However, since the script is not a direct adaptation of James' play, but has undergone yet another adaptation through Jean Pavans' play, we encounter a slightly different story than that offered by other productions. It's questionable to what extent the Death in Venice-style manifesto realistically fits Henry James' intended point, but we have no choice but to enjoy the film with all it has to offer, or go see a different adaptation.
